Each year, Rolls-Royce’s hub of luxury—the Summer Studio in Sardinia—hosts many of the company’s finest guests and best customers. This year, the group at the Summer Studio became the first to see a new Wraith and Dawn designed to reflect the beauty of Porto Cervo, a vibrant marina located on the Costa Smerelda. Isobel Dando, General Manager of Future Retail for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, described, “Patrons of our marque delight in inhabiting some of the world’s most beautiful enclaves.

After months of research, the experts at Rolls-Royce developed a vehicle intended to meet the needs of the future consumer. The design answers three questions: How can Rolls-Royce recast luxury for the next 100 years? What will a Rolls-Royce owner expect of his or her vehicle in the coming decades? How does Rolls-Royce meet those expectations? The car brings with it several particular features that Rolls-Royce believes to be important to future drivers. It boasts advanced materials crafted into a modern coach powered by an engine that produces zero emissions. Each car will be custom crafted so that no two are exactly alike. The sleek vehicle will also be technologically advanced and integrated into the life of the owner, reminding him or her of appointments and itineraries, and most importantly, the car of the future will be self-driving and autonomous. “Today, Rolls-Royce, the world’s leading luxury brand, has defined the future of luxury mobility. The grand arrival of the Rolls-Royce VISION NEXT 100 boldly points to a bright future for our marque where our patrons’ individual demands for complete and authentic personalization will be met through an exquisite fusion of technology, design, and hallmark Rolls-Royce craftsmanship,” describes Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

BRAVO to the Rolls-Royce Dawn on being voted BBC Top Gear Magazine’s coveted 2016 ‘Luxury Car of the Year’ award. The most incredible open-top motoring experience in the world, Dawn, has received recognition from some of the most highly respected international commentators, with many declaring that the new Rolls-Royce redefines the notion of a true super-luxury drophead. The Dawn is the fourth distinctive model in the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars family. It is powered by an effortlessly smooth 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine and features a multi-layer foldaway fabric roof that, when in place, makes it the world’s most quiet convertible car. Naming Dawn its Luxury Car of the Year, Top Gear Magazine wrote, ‘Take the world of high-end goods. Sure, you can splash a few grand on a posh smartwatch if you’re suitably inclined, but the market for intricate, mechanically wound chronometers that are less accurate is worth millions more. Would you rather wear shoes tailored by a hyper-sensitive 3D printer or a Jermyn Street cobbler? That’s why the Dawn is 2016’s finest example of automotive opulence. Why should every car be kneecapped by its cold, hard numbers? “Quality remains long after the price is forgotten.” Quite right, Sir Henry.’ Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, commented, “Dawn represents the most glamorous expression of Rolls-Royce luxury in history. It is the product of the uncompromising commitment to delivering perfection that informs every one of the 1,600 highly skilled men and women employed at the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, West Sussex. To be recognised by Top Gear and the rest of the world’s media in such glowing terms is truly gratifying to everyone concerned with our marque.” Contact a Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Rancho Mirage sales specialist today to learn more about this incredible award-winning vehicle.
